Russian politician is fired after exercising in a funeral home and posting it on Instagram
A politician has been sacked from the ruling United Russia political party for recording a bizarre workout video in a funeral parlour and posting it on her Instagram account.
Anastasia Myakina was head of the United Russia party on the Shelekhovo District Assembly in the Irkutsk Region of the country, as well as the manager of a state-owned funeral parlor.
The previously well-respected politician has faced heavy criticism after the short exercise video she filmed in her workplace went viral online,Daily Mail reports.
The 24-year-old later deleted the video and tried to explain herself, claiming she did not know the footage would go public.
'I do not know much about technology, so I did not think that this video would be available to the general public,' she said in an interview with Life.ru.'Now I do not know what to do, I can be fired
Her fears were realised when she was kicked out of the party, with officials saying she had 'violated all common moral standards'.
The ex-politician later posted another video aplogising to Vladimir Putin and her former party for the embarrassment she caused.
'Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, dear Russians, I am very sorry if I insulted you with my video, I did not mean to,' she said.
